Buttermilk Syrup

Here's the syrup recipe so many of you tried this weekend:

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup buttermilk (or 1 tsp vinegar for every cup of regular milk)

Mix together in a pan and bring to a boil. Let boil for about one minute.

Sorry I don't have any beautiful pictures of this frothy goodness, but I can't make pictures do justice to the yummy taste.

Smith Hill Road and Wild Flowers

This first part of this week Kathy and I spent at Bear Lake with some beautiful new friends, the wild flowers of Smith Hill Road. Aren't they magnificent? We're all hoping that they'll stay in bloom for a long time, but in the event you miss them- here are a few pictures.

Didn't Dad have a great thought when he planned this into the
Smith Hill Road design?

For those of you that remember Aunt June, she would aften take the cousins out onto a Bear Lake hillside to gather wild flowers during the summer. Who's ever been to Bloomington Lake has had a great view of the wild flowers in the valley, and now we have them marching along side our very own road!

Just one of the many thanks owed to the Builder of the Road.

Grand to be in Grand Rapid's

Grand Rapids has certainly been living up to it's name during the last several weeks for Elder Mabey and Elder Barney. Thomas has decribed Elder Barney as someone that knows how to work when he is suposed to and knows how to have a good time at the right times. They seem to be doing a GRAND job. Maggie Emgach was baptized Saturday, July 10th and Thomas conferred the Holy Ghost on Sunday. I his words "I haven't been that happy in a long time . . . it was sweet."

I believe...

Get ready for some TOTALLY AWESOME reunion T-shirts this year!!
Do you think we should add "Fish Haven, ID" in really small font underneath the "bear lake monster"? I can't decide.
